Freezing Pillar is an active wizard ability in Avowed, learnable at level 15 from the wizard ability tree. It can be upgraded at levels 18 and 20.

To cast Freezing Pillar, you can equip a grimoire containing the ability at level 15 or higher. Alternatively, if you've reached Grimoire Mastery Rank 3 and own a grimoire with this ability, you can purchase it directly from the wizard ability tree, allowing you to cast it without a grimoire equipped. Purchased spells cast from a grimoire are cast at one Rank higher.
